Member to Member Benefit Program

Member to Member Benefit Program

The Member-To-Member Discount Program encourages Chamber members and their employees to prefer other Chamber members when making buying decisions. The Program is a great way to attract customers, build relationships with customers, save money and strengthen our local economy.

What types of discounts can be offered?
Any! Some that could be offered include a percentage off the purchase price, such as a 10% off car detailing or 10% off dry cleaning. You could also offer a “Bonus”.  For example, if you operate a restaurant, you may want to offer a “Free” dessert with a customer’s meal.  Be creative! You may want to keep in mind that to be effective and popular, the discount or bonus should be substantial enough to attract attention. We will promote this program and your discount at every opportunity, including monthly membership mailings, email blast, e-newsletter, new- member packets and on our website and blog.

Guidelines

The member must be in good standing with The Chamber.

The participants must offer an exclusive discount/promotion to Chamber members, over and above what non-members would receive.

The participant can review and revise their offer for the Member-To-Member Discount Program every six months. The participants agree to abide by their discount/promotion and fully understand that it is their responsibility to notify the Chamber of any and all changes immediately.

All member deals must be made valid for a minimum of 90 days. We strongly encourage a one year or six month commitment. The longer the deal, the more likely you are to incur results for your offer!

The participants agree to educate employees about the Member-To-Member Discount Program and display the Member-To-Member

The participants agree to contact the Chamber in writing if they wish to terminate their participation in the Member-To-Member Discount Program.

                                                                                                                                                  
Tips for Success

Educate your employees.  Utilize the Program description sheet to inform your employees about The Chamber Member-To-Member Discount Program. Place this information in a break room or common area that employees share.

Track your results. If possible, record the number of discounts issued per month to measure the business traffic of Chamber members and report back to us by email.  Chamber staff will also utilize this information each month to monitor the success of the program.

Market your business. By submitting a Member Deal you may acquire more loyal patrons to your business. We will utilize our E-blast and mail-out marketing to insure that your fellow Chamber members are aware of your offer!
